Just my thoughts

The SoCon coaches voted for a total of 50 students athletes to be on the SoCon preseason all conference teams today.  That's 11 on defense, 11 on offense, & 3 on special teams, on each of two teams that were were selected (a first team and a second team).  SoCon coaches could not vote for players on their own team, so effectively, 9 coaches picked 50 players off eight (8) teams.  I say eight teams because not a single Catamount player was selected as either a first or second team member.  

SoCon coaches also voted in the coaches poll on how the teams would stack up this season.  Again, coaches could not vote for their own team, and again, 9 coaches were voting for 8 teams, as Western was picked by these same coaches to end the season dead last in the 9 team field. 

What do these two votes mean?  In my opinion, the SoCon coaches have spoken to all that read the poll and preseason all conference teams, that WCU football is just what many of our conference foes have said for years - the Catamounts are a team not to be taken seriously.

Does the SoCon coaches think so little of the quality of our athletes? or is it they think so little of the quality of our coaching staff?   What's your opinion?
